Fresh Baked Bread Swiped from astrycula . Little Dove's post somehow got me to post a list of things that I totally HATE to smell. Rotiboy Lovely Lace J. Co Donuts Bread Talk St. Cinnamon / Cinnabon You'll notice that 80% of the list is bakeries. I just can't stand the 'stench'. It's not that I don't like the smell of fresh pastries and bread, but the 'aroma' from these places is too concentrated. Makes me wanna hurl. As for cinnamon, there's just something I don't like about it. The reason why I hate Rotiboy? The same reason why people like it. And frying doughnut batter in lard? So greasy! Lovely Lace has a special place among my tahi hidung . The powdery fragrance that emanates from their shop ( it travels one floor up and one floor down ) can really cause me to suffocate and end up with a sneezing fit! There you have it.

FAIL Swiped from Photo David . Note: This is the follow-up to my last irate post about DiGi's service My problem with DiGi's SMS reload registration finally comes to an end. By any decent customer service standards, the SLA has long been violated! And you know what, they could have closed the case if their staff were a little bit more knowledgeable or were smart enough to escalate the case to the relevant people. Buuuuuut.... as usual, I was given the ding-dong treatment. Well, on Friday morning before my dim sum breakfast at Deli Taste , Serdang, I logged on to DiGi's D'Chat . I had no patience for their IVR that day. As usual, I was greeted by Nur Syuhada , the name they chose for their customer-facing. I repeated my problem and once again I got the standard answer of..... "they will contact you". Cheh! So I got bitchy. The customer service officer even insinuated that I did not fill in the form properly and suggested that I get a photocopy of it f

Grilled Sea Bass Swiped from patrickkwk . The last BFF gathering was for Froggie's ( I noticed that I always switch between Froggy and Froggie ) birthday at Alexis, The Gardens. Since then, everyone had been busy with work. All the sampat e-mail threads and group chats nearly ground to a halt. This latest gathering was organized by JL for the occasion of Alex's belated birthday party. Due to the unique circumstances, it materialized with VERY little correspondence and the turnout was quite good really ( even Adik came clutching a dead black chicken ). Well, it was at Bijou , Mont Kiara Damai and SK and I found it quite a challenge to get there. SK was fumbling with the instructions and I was screaming from the steering wheel. Luckily, JL managed to reel us in near Plaza Mont Kiara. SK was supposed to wear a dress for the occasion, but her persistent throat infection ( which has since been diagnosed as caused by a sinus infection ) had left her fatigued and the thought

Die Suneo! Die! Swiped from chibialfa . #1: Cepat bagi tau nehbors-nehbors yang siri komedi "Datin Wan Abe" dah menang anugerah Komedi Terbaik di Anugerah Skrin 2008 baru-baru ini! . I'm so elated! #2: Someomne searched for this keyword on Google: William Look Like Suneo (*)&(*&*%^&$#@%$#^%#@. WTF! #3: SK bought me a new foam mattress for Xmas! Wakaka. Feels great draped with KH's 450 threadcount sheets.... Mum also nailed the bed the other day! The last time KH and I skanked on it, the whole thing collapsed. :P.

Crossroads Swiped from PedjaP . Ever since the road connecting Jalan Mega Mendung and Taman Esplanad was opened, the numbers of cars that ply that road have increased at least two-fold. Your's truly uses it to cut from OKR to Bukit Jalil. However, that road is quite narrow ( due to the infamous road shoulder that was built and teared away and built again by DBKL over the years ) and ridden with potholes and traffic lights, making it a Hell to use, especially on Thursday-- night market day. And so, being an ex-resident of OUG, I know shortcuts through the housing area to avoid that jam during rush hour. I usually cut through Taman United to get to Jalan Hujan Emas, a road that is kinda parallel to Jalan Mega Mendung. It's one long, straight road that is full of crossroads. In this month alone, I had two close shaves with motorcyclists on that road. Never in my long years had I encountered such idiotic people on that road. During the first near-accident, I was approachin

Fire Hazard Bob's office Swiped from PipThePony . Last Tuesday was the deadline for the submission of a big proposal I was working on. My company bid for a total of 4 modules and I worked on one of it. The bloody Request for Proposal (RFP) document was 600+ pages long with 7 parts to fill up. Part 4 alone had 2400+ items to answer. In reality, only me and my colleague Chinz worked on it. The Fatty Boss merely gave vague comments and criticism. And he keep on chiding the rest of the team for not helping out and quizzing unrelated colleagues about the content when obviously he also did not know heads or tails about it. He even remembered the submission date wrongly. What a great way to "train" your staff. During the final week to the deadline, Chinz went on leave, leaving me with the deadweight. Since many uncertainties were left, I just quickly chose to mark the items with non-compliance to avoid future problems and proceed to fill up the gaps in the other parts.

Passionate Swiped from Angeldevil79 . Out of the blue, JB notified me that he was coming to KL with his BF, Griff. They initially suggested dinner, but seeing that they had not settled on lodging and what not, it was deferred to lunch the following day. And so, on Sunday, he asked me to meet him at 2:00pm at KLCC. Since mass ended a bit past noon, I asked SK to drop me off at Kelana Jaya LRT. Halfway there, I received news of some change of plans. Time and venue. Preparing for the worst, I downed a pretzel to fuel myself for some Christmas shopping at KLCC first. At the end, we met at The Pavilion for some Japanese food at Ichiban Boshi . And luckily they made it for the original time slot. Quite a challenge to catch 'em. :P. Had a long chat about lots of things-- food, 7th Day Adventists ( ! ), life in KL, the rat race, bloggers. He looks exactly like in his pics. Griff on the other hand looks a bit like me in pictures ( side profile ), but the similarity is not there in
